The need for the limits of the term in Congress

There is a crisis of epidemic areas in this country, and it continues to attack of the American people. This growing epidemic has the ground zero in Washington, d.c. and the center of origin is Congress. This epidemic is not likely to begin and at night, the slow and under our very noses has grown. In fact, that the American people have played a huge role in the growth of these pathogens. We have run rampant greed and ambition in the capital of our nation.

The every American has not yet really taken the time to really look at the people in Congress, how long they've been in Office and what they have done or not done for this country. The average American is doing to try to keep a roof over their head, food on the table and keep their accounts paid. We are so busy trying to live our lives that we Congress and the White House have let get away with too much.

While generations past term limits on the Cabinet of the President, had they not the foreground site to do the same for members of Congress. Unfortunately That has come back to haunt of the current population and will continue to haunt of future generations. Congress is no longer in the business of the American people to represent, but in the business of greed, political favor and their pockets. Greed and corruption are more likely than honor and duty.

There are members of Congress who have served for more than 50 years. While it's true that voters put them there, you have to wonder if the American people would have been better served as their mandate of service limited to a total of 2 terms. Perhaps there are less partisan and more bipartisan within both the House and the Senate.

Special Interest Groups, huge campaign donations, back room deals, Congressional hearings that are for display; all speak to Congress is out of control and out of touch. Lawyers make up the majority of the Congress, with this type of majority, how can their really represent the American people. Where are the doctors, businessmen, farmers and others who could speak for the population. Why is the reform of the campaign never fully treated? Could it be that money talk?

Congress members will receive a salary of between $ 150,000 to $ 250,000. That's quite a bit more than the average American. They will also receive a pension for life, even if they are on a term of 2 years serving. They are voting itself raises, without the consent of the taxpayer. Our founding fathers served in Congress for nothing! They also make not a career.

Congressional leaders will never this issue because it is their job and they want the perks that go along with it. It comes to taking the American people to express their objections against this abuse of power. The American people should vote from each sitting and Congress wake up and realize that change will take place.

Both major political parties should be aware that the Americans across the country are getting tired of the lack of leadership that exists. Conservatives, moderators and Liberals in both parties must be a wake up call. Americans want real change, not the blame game that continues to play out in the media. Americans want their jobs back. Those who Congress allowed to leave for other countries. We want our industrial base back. We want our elected representative to do their work or out of the way and let real leaders taking a shot at it. The American people are tired of "business as usually" mentality that seems to prevail in Congress and in Washington.

Politics can no longer be for a couple. Every American regardless of where they live, should be involved. We need to stop looking at colour, religious preference or any other barrier. We must be involved and informed. We need people who we can and we must be leaders.

If a working wife and mother, I am very aware of the difficult times that we live in. With a high level of unemployment in this country to find families in difficult to make ends. Our political leaders in local, provincial and federal levels are too far from the average American to understand our concern.

Time and time again we express our opinion and the media ignore us or simple view us as simple minded. We tell our so-called legal representatives what we want or don't want and they ignore us or bend to special interests.

While a person may not turn the tide, I have the correct ad opportunity to speak of a perspective on the current political and social sphere in this country.
